Parental Views

The Governors and Leadership of Norwood are keen to always look at ways to improve the education of Norwood pupils and the experiences of parents. This is done in a number of ways - formal and informal.

The Head and Parent Support Advisor are on the playground every morning from 8.30am to answer questions, collect enquiries or listen to suggestions. The Deputy Head is also available every Monday from 8.30am to deal with any issues that parents of SEN children might have.

The Governors of Norwood Primary School issue an annual questionnaire for parents to evaluate how the school is doing in the following areas of school life:

The School

Children's Well Being

Teaching and Learning

Overall Satisfaction

This questionnaire normally takes place in the Summer term and the results are shared and evaluated with Governors in order for an action plan to be drawn up to address any major issues.

In this year's survey parents have indicated they would like us to review the following areas of school life, which we will do over the next term:

knowing how to contact the school's Governors

the New to Year Group Parent Meetings in September

the Spring term 'open-style' Parents Evening

how the school deals with unacceptable behaviour

Parent View
Parent View gives you the chance to tell Ofsted what you think about your child’s school, from the quality of teaching to dealing with bullying and poor behaviour. The survey can be completed at any time; you don’t have to wait until the school is being inspected. We will use the information you provide when making decisions about which schools to inspect and when. Click ‘Give your views’ to register and complete a survey to help your child’s school improve.

Parents are regularly encouraged via the school newsletter to contact Governors with any issues of note through a special allocated email address: governors@norwoodmail.co.uk
